SPARKLING AFTERNOON WITH BRINKHAUS JEWELLERS & FOREVERMARK DIAMONDS




I think most of us- women - loves everything that sparkles - including jewellery and.. diamonds...and although I had a chance to attend many interesting events hosted by worldwide known brands - I think the one I just attended this past Wednesday was definitely one of the most unique ones hosted by Brinkhaus Jewellers in Calgary who partnered with Forevermark and organized The Diamond Journey – an exclusive event to celebrate the Canadian debut of the Forevermark Exceptional Diamond Collection. 

My personal tools - learning about diamonds


Forevermark is the diamond brand from The De Beers Group of Companies with over 125 years of diamond expertise - these diamonds are carefully selected and come from sources committed to very high standards ( only less than one percent of the world’s diamonds are worthy of the Forevermark inscription – an assurance that each diamond is rare and beautiful).

What was really interesting was the fact that I could learn about the craftsmanship of the Forevermark brand as well as having an opportunity to sort of rough diamonds  (with specially prepared kit of tools:-) and of course – trying on jewellery   (my favourite - yellow 23 carats diamond)!

My special ThankYou to Brinkhaus Jewellers & Forevermark for having me being part of this one-of-a kind diamonds journey.  

My special ThankYou to Brinkhaus Jewellers & Forevermark Diamonds for invitation

What a pleasure to wear special 23 carats yellow diamond 
worth over 4.6 million CAD (in retail)

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH RODAN+FIELDS PRODUCTS!





Earlier this year I had a chance to connect with friend of mine-Judy Mikeska who was telling me about this amazing skincare line I should try , called Rodan+Fields.
Its been on the market for some time and I heard about the brand before - but never was a big fan of "those type" of skincare brands. However after seeing some results online - I thought I should give it a try.

After some waiting time for approval from Rodan+Fields head office&marketing team - Judy was able to get me the Reverse 60-day kit to try (I choose Reverse as my skin had lots of sun damage and brown spots-especially because of hormonal changes after having a baby).
Reverse Regimen exfoliates, visibly brightens, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and defends against sun exposure for a long-term solution to get a radiant complexion.


My Rodan+Fields Gift from Judy:-)


The Reverse Regimen features 4 full size products, including Deep Exfoliating Wash, Intensive Brightening Toner, Dual Active Brightening Complex and Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Sunscreen.
I was very happy with the first use of the line - products are easy to apply and left my skin feeling fresh and smooth.
And after using it for 60 days - I can visibly see the difference - especially with getting rid of the dullness of my skin and getting my glow back!
Now - I am ready to try some more products from Rodan+Fields - already thinking of trying Redefine Overnight Restorative Cream used together with Rodan+Fields AMP MD Roller (that roller micro exfoliates the dead skin providing 35k opportunities for product to access the skin).
